Coastal Livelihood Assessment in Southwest Sumba
Background
Established in 2007, Southwest Sumba is one of the poorest districts in Eastern
Indonesia with a population of 308.438 (2014 estimate), the highest of other
districts on the island. Agriculture is the biggest sector in Southwest Sumba
with around 90% of the labor force working in agriculture with a fairly even
split between male and female participation. However, on the north, west and
southern parts, the district also has 147 km of coastal areas with active
fishing culture, tourism potentials, and large coastal communities.
From initial observation and discussions with local communities and
authorities, WLF took note of the following conditions:
• The presence of coastal communities with some fishing activities that
supplies to markets outside of Sumba, i.e. Bali, Lombok;
• Lack of domestic demand within Southwest Sumba for fish and seafood at
household and community levels;
• Underdeveloped income-generating activities including tourism
potentials, i.e. mangrove, eco-tourism, seaweed, salt farm, etc.
WLF is keen to have a better understanding of the coastal livelihood
potentials, constraints facing these coastal communities, and the
above-mentioned assumptions through an assessment. This assessment is expected
to provide WLF with information of current livelihoods and income-generating
activities carried out at household and community level. Results from this
assessment will provide WLF with information to develop a potential economic
empowerment program with a focus on sustainable development for coastal
communities and areas that maximized local resources and improve the adaptive
capacity of targeted communities. At a more general level, WLF hopes to link
such economic empowerment program with its health and/or education programs in
Southwest Sumba. Therefore, WLF is also interested in the household demographic
data and adaptive capacity that can help vulnerable households manage their own
resources, particularly in building household resilience during non-productive
season to secure reliable food sources and income.
About WLF
The William and Lily Foundation (WLF) is a Jakarta-based philanthropic
organization established in 2009. Our mission is to empower vulnerable and
marginalized communities by bridging learning with access to opportunities. As
an active grant-making foundation, we work closely with local implementation
partners on three focus areas: Education, Health and Economic Empowerment.
Objective
WLF seeks a Consultant (organization/individual or team of individuals) to
conduct a coastal livelihood assessment in Southwest Sumba. The assessment will
be an exercise to gain an accurate and realistic understanding of how these
households’ secure basic necessities by utilizing existing assets (human,
social, natural, physical or financial) and how coastal communities of
Southwest Sumba convert these assets into positive livelihood outcomes.
WLF is also keen to learn of suitable entry points for future support
program(s) based on results of the assessment, as well as in better
understanding the prevailing cultural practices and types of structures and
processes that can “transform” assets into livelihood outcomes, including
existing coping strategies and opportunities to develop new ones.
Scope
The assessment is envisioned to collect data and information from select
locations which may include households in WLF program locations in Southwest
Sumba. By having these households as target respondents and other key
stakeholders, WLF hopes that the assessment can provide the following insights:
1. All livelihood assets (human, social, natural, physical, and financial)
of target respondents, including assets that are
accessible and available to the households and food consumption pattern.
2. Mapping of existing fishing, marine or coastal related income-generating
activities, including information regarding land-ownership
and other inputs.
3. Mapping of local demand for fish and/or other seafood in Sumba.
4. Level of fishing/marine/coastal-related knowledge, skills, resources,
practices and access of target respondents to check on vulnerabilities,
constraints and limitations of fishing/marine and coastal- related
activities at household level;
5. Coping strategies and activities to address existing constraints in
coastal livelihood, including current strategies to ensure
stable purchasing power or food production for household consumption.
6. Target respondents stated needs, in terms of coastal livelihood
improvements – what knowledge, skills or access, lacking or needed by
households to allow them to make better decisions regarding their
livelihoods, including level of financial literacy of target respondents.
7. Mapping commodity supply and value chains, including the role of target
respondents (men and women) along the supply and value chains, i.e.
identification of key commodities and/or income generating
activities, cold storage capacity and potential, capacity to generate
sustainable livelihoods, possible pathways to move up the
value chain beyond the production of raw goods, market access, etc.
8. Viable social accountability approach (group/community activities) that
can improve household’s adaptive capacity and resilience.
9. Mapping of government programs or schemes to develop and support
fisheries/aqua- culture/marine- related activities
for coastal communities, including any local regulations.
10. Mapping of government support to improve household resilience for the
lean seasons and disaster mitigation in coastal
communities.
The assessment is also expected to cover at least three (3) villages with
on-going WLF programs and five (5) villages with no WLF presence in Southwest
Sumba. Final selection of the villages and target households will be done
following a discussion with WLF and gathering of input from WLF’s implementing
partners.
WLF also hope that the assessment can provide insights to possible linkages
between an economic empowerment support program and WLF’s health and/or
education programs
Deliverables
Prospective Consultant is expected to deliver a Coastal Livelihood Assessment
report on Southwest Sumba. Both qualitative and quantitative data will be used
to investigate and analyze the issues that informed the livelihood assessment.
These included primary and secondary data collected from target respondents,
key stakeholders, and other sources. Emphasis will be placed on delivery of the
following information:
• Demographic profile of target respondents (age, sex, occupation, education
status, wage rate, vulnerable household members, productive
assets, source of income from fishing/marine/coastal and
non-fishing/marine/coastal activities, food consumption pattern, knowledge of
nutrition/nutritious food, food and non-food expenditure, women’s
contribution to fishing/non-fishing activities, etc.);
• Information on household adaptive capacity during lean months or
natural disaster, including access to financial support;
• Information on fishing/aqua-culture/marine/coastal productivity (assets,
land or ownership of other inputs, seasonal calendar, etc.) of areas
where target respondents live and/or work;
• Information on the demand side on commodities and/or products;
• Average yield of select commodities of target respondents (current),
including a mapping of commodity supply and value chains,
and storage facility/potential;
• Identification of potential or new key commodities and/or other
income-generating activities;
• Mapping of government strategies and policies to support
fishing/aqua-culture/marine/coastal development agenda, including
a focus on production and livelihoods of its population, such as
access to skills training and other support (financial or non-financial).
Duration
The assessment is expected to start in mid-January 2021 and prospective
consultant will be expected to submit their final findings within 3 (three)
months from the start of data collection activities.
